  1. Hi, After attending Chief Academy last week I am motivated to start using the 3d Viewer and the 360 Panorama. Is it correct that I can only export a standard color model to the 3d Viewer? The 360 Panorama lets me export a variety of views from ray traces down to line drawings and I was surprised to find that I cannot figure out how to do the same for the 3d Viewer. Of course, I could be missing something obvious! Thanks, Susan
  2. Hi, There is a forum dedicated to Home Designer that might be more helpful for you than this forum since you are working in Home Designer. Please see attached screen shot for location. Good luck!
  3. Thank you Mark! I knew you would have a suggestion and I appreciate your sharing. I've been watching Scott Harris's videos on the CKBD exam and I've downloaded the templates he created. I've even emailed with Scott, but I needed a visual to figure out how to simplify the cabinet schedule down to something that would look like the format needed on the exam - so thank you! Susan
  4. Hi, Has anyone used the NKBA / CKBD templates in Chief to take the CKBD exam? More specifically I was wondering if anyone has found an efficient way to create the "Specifications List" that is required on the main floorplan. I would like to have that linked to the cabinets so it would update automatically when changes are made. Thanks, Susan
  5. Wow, thank you guys for contacting Carrie and Sue! Subzero is a great company and customer service is very important to them. My boss and my Subzero distributor are in Madison, WI at SubZero headquarters this week. If you haven't yet written a quick email, please do so now, even if you did so several months ago. They need and want to hear from ALL of us so please speak up while I have contacts there onsite - this is a wonderful opportunity to get these catalogs for Chief. Thanks! marketingideas@subzero.com
  6. Hi Mark,

    Thank you so much for sending in the great email to Subzero.    

    To be honest, I've been using your symbols!  and the remaining symbols I need I pull out of the existing Chief catalogs and put up with the fact that there are some differences in the look of the product.  I tried downloading Subzero / Wolf symbols off the Subzero site, but it is such a time intensive process and annoying that they all come in at the wrong size, that I decided to put my efforts towards getting Subzero to share their 3d files with Chief so we could all have easy access to a Chief catalog of their products.   

    Thank you again for your help!

  7. Thank you all for sending a short email to Subzero and please keep them coming, even if you sent one several months ago. Subzero needs to hear from all of us if this is going to work. My boss is a great communicator and if he has your emails to refer to he will have a much better chance of moving this project forward when he is at Subzero headquarters next week. marketingideas@subzero.com Thanks! Susan
  8. My error! Wolf is not included in the address. Correct address: Marketingideas@subzero.com
  9. Update: I've been working with Jenna Sorenson at Chief, my SubZero / Wolf distributor, and SubZero / Wolf marketing department to get these catalogs added to Chief. The holdup is that only 19 Chief users wrote in and requested SubZero / Wolf catalogs be included in Chief. I know the are many more than 19 of us who want these catalogs! My boss and our Subzero distributor will be at Subzero / Wolf headquarters next week for a conference and they would like to be able to show Subzero there is great interest from Chief users. Even if you sent one before, please send a quick email letting Subzero know you are interested in seeing their catalogs in the Chief Library. The marketing department at Subzero / Wolf monitors this email address daily: marketingideas@subzero.com Thanks!
  10. Hi, 

    Any more success with the 3d printing?  I'm finally getting ready to purchase a printer and have been searching for information on Chief's site on this subject.  What format did you use to export the design to the printer?

  11. Thanks for the suggestions. I went ahead and deleted the shelves in all cabinets in my template. Sounds like this is a bug that everyone works around.
  12. I'm sure someone must have discussed this before as it has been a problem for awhile, but I cannot seem to locate any threads. When I create a line drawing or a technical illustration, I often see the shelves inside the cabinets. Is this a bug? Short of setting up my template with cabinets with no shelves, is there a way to fix this or am I missing something obvious? Thanks!
  13. Wow Jon! Thank you so much for the instructions. I will give it a try - although I'm not sold on the "So simple, even I can do it" comment. Someday maybe one of us can talk you into a GTM on that technique. Thank you again!
  14. Jon, Beautiful rendering! Can you tell us what technique you used? Thanks, Susan
  15. Thank you Mark and Scott for hosting today. The seminar was very helpful.
  16. Yes, I could just change the color of the knobs on the range to give me a similar look, but what I really want is the rest of their library: the steam oven, the microwaves, the coffee machine, the wall ovens, the ranges, the Subzeros. I use these items all the time and I just want to make my life easier!
  17. Wow!! The Chief community is amazing!! Thank you so much for sending in emails to Subzero requesting their catalogs for Chief. My contact there is completely blown away by the number of emails that have come in so far and told me that our responses are just what they need to hear. If you haven't yet had a chance, please send a quick note to SubZero to let them know you are a Chief user and would like to see Subzero / Wolf catalogs in Chief. Thanks! marketingideas@subzero.com
  18. Hi, I was the one who posted on the Q & A forum regarding the SubZero / Wolf catalogs. I am in contact with both Subzero and Chief and Subzero needs to see a strong interest from Chief users before they will move forward. If you are interested in seeing Subzero / Wolf catalogs included in Chief's library, please send a quick email and let them know you are a Chief user who would like to see Subzero / Wolf catalogs in Chief Architect. Thanks! marketingideas@subzero.com
  19. You didn't offend me, so no worries! :)

     

  20. Great!  Thank you for letting me know and for emailing Subzero.  I've been working on this for awhile now between my contact at Chief and my contact at Subzero.  I would love to get those catalogs into Chief!

  21. A little background info.... The email address: marketingideas@subzero.com is monitored by a team of marketing people at Subzero and they will respond to your request. I do have a contact there who knows that I am posting a request on Chief Talk for interested users and has requested we use this address rather than her personal email address. Essentially, Subzero needs to see interest from Chief users before they will move forward with discussions to put their catalogs into Chief. So please send a short email saying you are a Chief Architect user and you would like to have Subzero and Wolf catalogs in your Chief Architect library. Thanks!
  22. Is anyone interested in having Subzero and Wolf included in Chief Architect's library? If this is something you would use, please send Subzero a note saying that you would like to see them in Chief Architect's catalog. marketingideas@subzero.com
  23. Has anyone tried printing out a design lately on a 3d printer? I know it is possible, I'm just curious if anyone on our forum has had success. Take a look at the attached photo. 6 scaled models of custom homes printed out on a 3d printer to showcase Marvin windows in their new Boston, MA showroom. I've seen the models in person and the detail is amazing.
  24. Thank you!! I had tried pulling it in, but was using the little circle instead of the little triangle. Learned something new!
